[thunder clapping]

[birds calling]

-Let's go, Akamaru.

[barks]

-Yamato.

-Yes, sir.

[wood cracking]

-Huh?

Aah!

Aah!

Woo!

[poof]

[wood cracking]

-Aah!

-Fang Over Fang!

-Aah!

Ooh!

Aah!

-Rasengan!

[poof]

-No way.

-You're mine now.

-Aah!

I-- I can't breathe.

-Well, I'm not letting go.

[wood snapping]

-What the hell!

-[giggling] Hey, what can I say?

I'm just really flexible.

And now to fight back.

Hidden Jutsu!

-Naruto, Kiba, retreat!

-Frill-Necked Lizard!

[laughing nervously] Oh, right.

That's all that jutsu does.

-He's just toying with us now.

-So this formation's no good, either, huh?

I can't believe he's been able to dodge all of our attacks.

-Kakashi--

-Yeah, I know.

-Nngh.

KIBA: Hey, Naruto.

Our formation attack-- the timing was dead-on, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-He should have taken a direct hit, then.

So how the hell was he able to evade every strike?

-I think we did hit him.

-What?

-This is just like when I attacked him with the Rasengan

at the very beginning.

I know I got him then, too.

SHINO: So in other words, he just

made it look like he evaded it, when in actuality, he

allowed you and your jutsu to pass right through his body.

Is that what you mean, Naruto?

-Uh, yeah?

-Damn it, Shino.

No one can even understand what you're trying to say.

-You know, It could be a clone.

Or maybe some kind of genjutsu that

makes you see illusions or visions.

-I thought so, too.

So I increased my field of vision with Byakugan.

I surveyed the area for other chakra, but all that I detected

was his.

And it's coming from the person we see.

-There we go!

-(TO HIMSELF): Pass through.

No wonder.

Well, Kakashi.

What do you think about this?

-No doubt about it.

It's some special jutsu that's unique to him,

which makes it a real bother, but-- Shino--

-I know.

[insects buzzing]

[theme music]

-In these situations, hidden jutsus

like Shino's are very useful.

-Ew!

You're one of the Aburame Clan!

Yech!

All wriggly and gross.

-Ha.

Shino.

Looks like you're raring to go for once.

-Of course I am.

It's because I was left behind the last time you all

went on a Sasuke rescue mission.

Go!

-Yech!

Gross!

Wah!

-Hey, Shino!

What the heck?

He's dodging every one of them!

-Rather than utilizing pinpoint, narrowly-focused attacks,

the Aburame Clan specializes in wide-range, sweep-type

assaults.

KIBA: Naruto, you haven't teamed up too often with Shino

on missions, but just relax.

Sit back and watch the bugs go to work.

Just make sure you stay out of their way.

-What's that supposed to mean?

-Scatter.

-Now he's trapped.

It's impossible to evade all of those insects.

-Whoa.

-Is he dodging, or letting our attacks pass through?

I'll figure out his jutsu right now.

Do it.

Hidden Jutsu, Beetle Sphere!

[buzzing insects]

-Now wait just a second, guys!

-All right!

Nice one, Shino!

-I'll settle this.

I'm part of this mission now.

I must do everything I can to make myself useful

this time around.

-Come on.

Still holding onto that grudge, huh?

[buzzing insects]

-Aah!

-(TO HERSELF): The insects are closing in as we watch.

It's impressive how he can manipulate so many so easily.

-Well, Hinata?

-Yes, right.

I'm detecting and confirming the target's chakra.

That is definitely him.

He's inside that swarm of insects.

-Yamato.

-Got it.

-Ready to go whenever you are.

-Shino, what do you think?

-He's definitely in there.

I can feel him resisting.

The parasitic insects are feeding on his chakra

as we speak.

-Nice!

Just let them suck him dry then.

-What-- What just happened?

The insects that were feeding off his chakra

suddenly lost track of him, but that's impossible.

-Teleportation Jutsu?

-No way.

It's not too teleportation.

If it were only something as simple as that.

My insects would have sensed the reappearance of his chakra

and gone to his new position.

They wouldn't lose him entirely.

-Then he used some kind of transportation technique?

No.

That's not possible, either.

-But he-- suddenly just vanished.

-He traveled through space without weaving signs,

employing summoning, or using marks?

That's ninjutsu that far surpasses

even the fourth hokage.

-So he erased his whole body?

He can wipe out his entire presence?

-No way.

However, if we accept that he can erase his whole body

at will, then it follows that he can also

erase just a part of it, too.

And if that's the case, then he can erase the parts of himself

that are targeted and would be struck by any external attacks,

thereby making it appear that the attack went right

through him.

-So he didn't evade the attacks.

They were actually slipping right through him

the whole time.

[barks]

-[gasping] Found him!

Over there!

-Oh, hello there!

-Nice try, but don't think you can escape my nose!

Tunneling Fang!

[thudding]

-Didn't you listen?

That isn't gonna work, Kiba.

-Ugh.

passed right through again, huh?

Damn it.

-Uh, Kiba?

I think this time he just dodged you.

[dog whines]

-Well?

-It's over.

-He was on the Akatsuki roster Kabuto left us.

-I'm tired of all this interference!

-Sasuke triumphed in the battle.

Itachi Uchiha is now dead.

-Sasuke triumphed in the battle.

Itachi Uchiha is now dead.

-What?

I don't believe it!

Kidding.

-It's just as I expected.

-What?

Sasuke killed him?

He killed Itachi?

-Sasuke is down right now, too.

So what's next?

I think he's in pretty bad shape.

-Hey!

You up there!

Spiky aloe guy!

Tell us where Sasuke is right now!

-What do you mean by aloe?

-Ignore him.

-We're just going to have to finish this some other time.

-That's a Sharingan.

Who in the is he?

-Later.

-We've got to find Sasuke before they do.

Hinata, check out four o'clock.

-Yes, right!

Byakugan!

About ten kilometers ahead, a strong chakra

spread across a wide swathe.

Also, for some reason, the forest's on fire.

And it's burning with black flames.

-(TO HIMSELF): Amaterasu.

That's it.

Everyone follow me!

-(TO HIMSELF): This time, for sure.

We're going full speed ahead.

[heavy rainfall]

-You are late.

-I'm not you.

I simply can't shift as fast as you do.

-Since you were watching, you better

have recorded the battle.

-Relax.

I captured the whole thing.

Every moment.

-Good.

I'll review it closely later.

We're taking Itachi's corpse too.

We should go now.

-Huh?

I've detected their scents.

And they've already reached Sasuke's location.

-Ah, damn it!

-(TO HIMSELF): Nngh.

So that's the Amaterasu.

I've never seen it before.

-No way.

What is all that?

-I know what that is.

It's one of Itachi's jutsus.

-Careful.

That fire won't go out until it completely

incinerates everything in its path.

Yamato.

-Right.

I'm on it.

Earth Style!

Planet Splitter!

[cracking wood]

-Go on.

You can proceed now.

-All right.

Everyone else follow me.

[kring]

-Enough.

Quit wasting time.

-Who the hell is this?

-Zetzu.

-We're not just wasting time.

-So it's all over then, is it?

-Yes, it's finally settled.

-How's Sasuke?

-He's fine.

Sasuke won the battle.

[sighing]

-So where's Sasuke now?

-He has already been evacuated to a safe place.

-What kind of safe place?

-He's been taken to the Akatsuki hide-out in the east.

All of you should head there, too.

The Hidden Leaf will arrive here very shortly, I'm sure.

-Let's go.

We need to get to Sasuke.

-And what will you do now, Kisame?

-If Itachi isn't around anymore, I think I'll spread my wings

and see where fate takes me.

-I see.

Well, do as you please.

[rainfall]

[water swishing]

-Aw man.

What do you guys think happened here?

I mean, what kind of battle could

cause this amount of destruction?

-(TO HIMSELF): Two wielders of the Sharingan.

Are all battles between members of Uchiha Clan this intense?

-Where's Sasuke?

-I detect no other chakra here.

Aside from us, there's no one else in the area.

-There's still a faint trace of scent left.

But still--

-We're too late.

-Nngh.

-Oh, Naruto.

-Why?

Why can I never reach him?

Why can I never get catch up to Sasuke?

-I treated your wounds.

-Nngh.

[breathing heavily]

-You won.

But you sustained quite a bit of damage

and you're not completely recovered yet.

Try not to move unless it's necessary.

[footsteps]

-We've met once before.

-Wait, I know those robes.

You're with--

-Although we were enemies then.

Don't worry.

I don't hold Deidara's death against you.

I am not your enemy.

I merely brought you here in order to tell you something.

And you're not interested at all, I see.

Maybe if I put another way, you'll want to listen.

It's about Itachi Uchiha.

That's right.

You think you know all about your older brother,

but you know nothing.

All right.

Let me just start with a simple introduction then.

Like you, Sasuke, I am a survivor of the Uchiha Clan,

and one who knows the truth about Itachi Uchiha.

[heart thumps]

-Aah!

No!

It can't be!

-Aah!

Nngh!

Aah!

-Nngh.

[gasping]

-Aah!

-[breathing heavily] Aah.

-[breathing heavily] Aah.

What as that, just now?

[footsteps]

-The Amaterasu, which Itachi seems to have implanted in you.

Leave it to Itachi to set a trap even after he's dead.

I can't believe how well he plans ahead.

-What's that?

What are you talking about?

-To put it simply, he placed a jutsu inside you

in order to kill me.

Or perhaps I should say, he did that

in order to keep me away from you.

He probably set up this little trap

so that the Amaterasu would automatically

activate when you saw my Sharingan.

Thankfully, Itachi didn't know everything about me

or else I would undoubtedly be dead right now.

So this was Itachi's final trick, huh?

Too bad it didn't work on me.

-What is this?

Just what are you talking about?

-Itachi must have done something to you before he died.

At the very end, for your sake, he

managed to transfer his own visual prowess to you.

-What exactly are you telling me?

I mean what-- what are you trying to say?

Why would Itachi do such a thing?

-Don't you get it?

[gasps]

-He did it to protect you.

[theme music]

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): he wanted to protect me?

Are you kidding?

MADARA (VOICEOVER): You think you know all about your older

brother, but you don't nothing.

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): If you keep spouting nonsense and lies,

then I'll kill you right here.

MADARA (VOICEOVER): What I'm telling

you is simply the truth.

Itachi did mention it, didn't he?

About his accomplice that fateful night?

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): Next time on Naruto Shippuden, "Fate."

-I am Madara Uchiha.
